From our species guide
In plain words: The Banggai cardinalfish is a silver fish with three bold black stripes. It has long pointy fins and tiny white dots. It comes from a small group of islands in Indonesia and nowhere else.
Banggai cardinals are elegant, slow-moving fish with dramatic fins and a striking pattern. Captive-bred fish are very hardy and help protect the wild population, which is endangered.
Males mouth-brood their eggs, and pairs often spawn in home aquariums.
